Cut Copy with good company tonight at 9:30!
Taking my first sick day of the year today so I can kick whatever this is I have to the curb and rest up for Cut Copy tonight with some seriously cool chicks.

Rant of the Day: Gchat Color Status
Does anyone pay attention to the green vs. red Gchat statuses?
Like for example, if someone’s name is in red (implying they’re busy), does that actually deter you from sending them a message? “Blablabla is busy. You may be interrupting.” Whatever dude…

Out of Tumblr Hiding with a Houston Recap
I’m back from Houston and my 5-day blogging hiatus. I hope ya’ll had a great weekend and that everyone on the East Coast was able to take advantage of the beautiful warm weather that decided to disappear as SOON as I got back to DC. Womp womp.
Anywho, our girls trip was so much fun and, frankly, I’ve been really homesick for Texas since we got back late Sunday night. Missing my...

Best message-accompanying Facebook friend request ever!
Sadly, I’m not this dude’s long lost lover, nor have I ever attended the Bagel Ball, which is apparently a big club night for Jewish singles in the Houston area. I declined his tempting request to be Facebook friends, but not before I wished him the best of luck in finding his mystery Bagel girl.

My Search for the Perfect Ruffled Bedding
When I get fixated on something I want, it becomes all I can think about. My recent obsession? Ruffled bedding. I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect duvet cover/quilt/coverlet/bedspread, that is a) machine washable, b) affordable and c) adorable. Here are my five favorites so far:
1. Linenhouse Clara Quilt Cover (I think this is the front-runner):
2. India Rose Prom Night...

Charlottesville: A Little History and Lots of Food
Andrew and I had a blast during our short 24-hour jaunt to Charlottesville.
After battling through typical DC traffic, we left Saturday morning and made it down to C-ville just in time for lunch at Bellair Market, a sandwich shop connected to a gas station near the UVA campus. Per the cashier’s suggestion, we got the Ednam and Farmington sandwiches, both of which were made with delicious...
